From bathing, to feeding, to cleaning, in this video I share with you my day-to-day life with a pet alligator! Rex is a rescued American Alligator that had a rough past, but we try to make her as happy as possible now :)

I can’t believe she actually picked up a HISSING ALLIGATOR like it was a puppy and said “oh we’re being a drama queen today”
I mean she probably weifhs like 50 pounds and thats pretty dog sized if you ask me
She probably does that literally all the time. lmao It's like when you pick up your cat and it's pissed off. You know it's pissed off, but you also know that as long as you hold it a certain way or do things a certain way, it won't/can't hurt you. lol The towel over the head certainly helped.
To be fair it is her animal and she knows it best and can gauge when it's best to give her space or when she can still pick her up. I have a bearded dragon and I've had to pick him up while hes puffing at me because I know he most likely wont bite considering hes never even snapped at me
Boi i got scared
No offense but i think youre the drama queen honey
Imagine being an alligator, getting picked up by a strange creature and then being pampered liked a god, for no apparent reason
Pluto Meyers Lol
Imagine being a cat and then some idiot built the worlds largest air ballon thingy and activated right next to you

*_PEFECT! RULE THE WORLD!!!!_*
Lol x100
Watching this is 2022 - it's amazing how much larger she's grown despite being a stunted adult! So amazing to see; it's obvious you guys have taken excellent care of her during her time with you two.
I was just thinking that when I saw her in the tub! Like she would hardly fit in those kiddy pools now 3 years later! Not to mention how much better her teeth look now
E ggggggggg
Mad mad baby
Start of the 2022 school year
Please do more videos
I usually don’t like watching people who have a ton of reptiles because there can be issues with making sure all of the animals are taken care of properly. But you guys are truly some of the most wonderful people I have seen ❤️
Don't let them fool you... Nobody should have that many CAPTIVE animals... What kind of life is it toilet like that...
@@kzkid1 they’re all very clearly well taken care of, plus they’re breeders what would you expect
@@kzkid1 They are always taking good care of their animals even fostering and rehoming neglected ones. Maybe have a problem with people who actually obviously don't take proper care of their reptiles / animals dude.
They are professionals with their own staff.
You think they are amazing people,even though they take all these animals away from their lives in their natural environments, keep them in captivity trapped inside a tanks,glass prison cell,etc. Nope,that's not a nice person.
Imagine breaking into someone’s house and you see a whole ass alligator
Me, a robber: Okay, time to get into this room and- *sees alligator* Me: OH NO GOOD SIR!!!! *jumps out nearest window*
Why would you break into someone's house in the first place?
@@Dave_Lakin its a joke ya silly nilly
Hehe bitch bye 😭
Ha
Her: *talks about how Rex’s pool is destroyed* Rex: :D
I thought the exact same thing! She’s just sitting there going “Yes, I did that :D” xD
Yeah Rex is Like Gotcha. To get me another Pool and yeah its Pink. Cause I'm A Girl. Girl power LOLO. Haha
Believe it or not I see to be scared of alligators but when I saw Rex it started being my favorite animal
XD
Going back and watching this is wild, Rex is obviously still stunted but it seems she's grown so much since this video now that she's receiving adequate care
Watching This video after just watching Rex's 35th birthday.. And I am so happy at how much Rex has grown... Hearts and hugs
Landlord "you don't have any cats or dogs do you?"...."nope"
But I do have......... uhhhhh actually never mind hahah😂😂😂😂😂
Jes
If she had a dog the alligator would eat it
Jon Dobitsky 😂 😂
"Everything but the above"
That alligator is more sincere and obedient than my human kids
teach them a lesson when they deserve it and reward them from time to time. works like a charm for me
I have a dog that is more bitey when it comes to feet washing time than this freaking alligator. I tried showing said dog the video, he was unimpressed.
THANKS MOM!!!?!?!?!
Try feeding them once a week and only flashing an orange frisby to announce said meal.
I spat my drink out reading this 😂😂😂
Watching this in 2023 is quite amazing and how Rex has grown up so much
Ikr!
Watching this again in 2022 there's a difference between how big she is now and then three years ago and she looks super cute still today!
Robber: *breaks in* Emily: Hey can you hold this orange frisbee? Robber: ??? *sounds of hissing and crashing getting closer*
@Morrigan rolling on laughing floor... also love the name!! I'm naming my future daughter Morrigan
Robber: why do I hear the jaws theme
Robber:wha-
FLORIDA
*F O O D*
This alligator lives a more stable life than me
Lol
I feel ya
Very True 😞😞
You don't say
#realateable
Here I am, years later, rewatching Rex videos because I just can’t get enough of her. It has always been so interesting to me that she kept her juvenile stripes as opposed to what she would look like in the wild. I can’t wait to make a trip up to Tiny Cola one day to see the zoo!
I’m from Minnesota and it took me a lot longer than it should have to get your joke I’m embarrassed lol. But it’s pop not soda or cola >.>
The cuvier's dwarf caiman does this as well I think
Can we talk about how BRAVE SHE IS!? She’s Loki handling an angry allagator like, she’s so brave
"Rex Is in this box he's tired because he's been exposed to a lot of kids so it's the perfect time to brush her teeth" Did Rex eat a child?
Brownie 🤣
Brownie looooooool no XD
Wait.....
Probably
@@deanj1977 dun dun duuuunnn
“He even has his very own toothbrush”...I should hope so
We used to share! (Jk)
omg i literally said that right after i heard her say that ahhh!!! except i said i would hope so hahaha
My sister's dog licks his balls and they use the same towel.
Its a gurl
To brush that blood off
I think alligators and crocadillians are fascinating, but I would still be afraid to handle one, unless it was a baby. You rock Emily!
I am greatful that you took Rex and are caring for her so well. She doesn't deserve what she was living before. I just would never have one myself as I have enough to do without the addition of all the work to care for an alligator. I love having fish and snakes , even lizards just not the ones that would rather eat me than what I want them to eat.
So I'm on KZhead watching a woman scrub down a gator in a tub. 10/10 KZhead algorithm.
Arii Price Same, no idea why this ended up on my recommended feed on day, no idea why I clicked, but it was actually fascinating to watch lol
Welcome to the snake discovery fan group 👀
Dumbasses, even algorhythms are too high for you
yes
Arii Price meanwhile I looked this upp
Cashier: throwing a pool party? Her: actually it's for my alligator Cashier: OooooooooOooOooOkkkkkkkkkk
This is RL XD When i go to buy food for the dog and cat (i make my own) at the store i get like 20+ lbs of meat and the cashier is always like "oh, having a cook out???" and im like uh... nah... the only human food is the bag of chips" same thing when i had rabbits and bought pounds of veggies every weak for them XD
Same
Now u have 529
Now you have 600
@@VoloKnits you wrote week wrong
Rex used to be so little only 4 years ago, its very intresting to come back and see
Rex is my favourite of your critters. She has so much personality and she’s so beautiful. Like an angry puppy 🥰
Boyfriend: So should I come in? Her: I can introduce you to rex! Boyfriend: Great! I love dogs! Her: Yeah.......
Boyfriend:(comes in and sees Rex) Nope
I think she's married
@@sebbyboy1420 Yes she is married. And they both knew what they were getting into. An agreement they made together.
What do you mean? Rex is a dog-
Her name is Emily
cashier: Getting a pool for your kid? Emily: _No its for my small floridian swamp cat_
Lilac_goat_uwu scaly swamp doggo
tiny diva dragon without wings
You mean swamp dog
Lol nice
Lol
Ah, yes. The days when Rex was smaller than what she currently is to this day, and the time were Snake Discovery fam did not know Rex is a girl yet until this video. Rex is still a good girl. I love coming back to your old content Emily and Ed, helps me re-educate myself on some reptiles.
It’s amazing to see how happy and healthy Rex is now.
Why am I watching an alligator get it's teeth brushed at 3 am
You're a wizard Tyler...
Idk 😂😂
me 1am
I am watching it at 3am too!!.😂
literally same
God: Makes natures perfect killing machine. Humans: Is this a pet?
"This animal is built to hunt and kill as efficiently as possible, it's skin is covered in tough armour, it's muscles are powerful and let it-wait what are you doing? What do you mean 'boop the snoot'?"
Are you talking about cats?
Anankin12 I mean, I was talking about reptiles but I suppose cats also count as apex predators that we love and dote over.
@@ABonafideSkeleton Then there's the crimes we've done to wolves...
Ethan Webster German Shepherds and others are fine...but then we get to the unfortunate and poor souls...The pugs...the frenchies...the bulldogs...
I love how you love her and look after her so well.
She looks so amazing now!!! What a transformation. We can see the love and care you have given her ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Alligator: “We’ve outlived the great Dinosaurs.” Human: “She has her very own toothbrush.”
How majestic :3
Hehehehe

AMY DOLEMAN Rex is a She, not he
Rex: powerful creature, older than dinosaurs, hunter and predator Emily: “omg lets get her a pink pool!”
@Random Gacha Comebacker I like your bfb profile photo!
Rex: Am I a joke to you.

Colbee Hodgman OMG funny
Rex was so small! Great to see how far she’s come!
She was so small! Wow I've only started watching recently but I've been going through old videos and she looks so better than she did!
Rex's master plan to flood the house didn’t exactly go as planned.

IM SO WEAK LOLOLOLOL
Lol, I was wondering why she was making that face 😂👌🏽
just peachy she looks like she is making that face
I read this comment first as I was watching and you have perfectly described that moment lol
That is exactly her face
Friend: Can I come in? Emily: Sure, just dont get scared of Rex. she's friendly. Friend: Oh dont worry im good with dogs. Emily: 👁👄👁

uNsUb tOMAxiMilIumuS! You did nothing wrong XD There is just a bunch of kids from kindergarten that LOVES animals here :).
4 years later and I'm re watching as I love Rex. She is amazing ❤❤❤
I like how she so responsible of her pets and she always makes time for every one of her pets
Robber: breaks into this house Robber: sees alligator Robber:WTF
Ha
Robber say swear words wtf 💣💣💣
hmmm a username Lmfao 😂😂👏🏽
Also alligators are pretty territorial so id gtf outta there
The robber when then begin to rethink their decisions
robber: **steals orange frisbee** robber: why do i hear boss music?
Robber: *Literally dies* Alligator: *Smile of pshycopath* *and sociopath*
Rex comes out slowly an then at the end of the music she runs up to the robber and kills the robber
Other Robber: You idiot I told you to leave your phone in the car no where gonna get caught....*hears snarling* did you hear that?
Robber aHHHHHHhhhhhhhHHHHHHHH
*you sir get the death roll*
Your videos are just the best! Nothing better than watching a happy alligator! 🐊💚
Obviously it’s sad that Rex was stunted from her previously “owners” but I’m pretty damn jealous that you guys got this incredibly handleable mini alligator lol
The fact that the alligator is slightly domesticated is hilarious
@@darnellarford2439 No animal expert here but I doubt an animal needs to feel love or affection to be considered domesticated, more along the lines of don't bite the hand that feeds you
@@DolphinDivingChamp Domestication is a generational process. This alligator is tamed.
No it really isn’t. Alligators are NOT meant to be a pet and NOT meant to be affectionate. Rex was taken from the wild just when she was hatchling, she was taken away from her wild habitat and was not cared for properly.
Darnell Arford that's not exactly true. Look up the crocodile from Costa Rica. You can tell that crocodile definitely felt some sort of affection for his human, may not be the same as other animals, but I wouldn't say they are incapable either.
@@darnellarford2439 You ever heard of Walley the Alligator? He's a registered emotional support animal.
When your pet alligator behaves better in the tub than 80% of dogs
and 100% better than cats XD
You expect an alligator to dislike water?
Antonio Ibarra no lol i expect her not to like being in a small tub and scrubbed 😂 she doesn’t seem too rowdy though
My dog will do anything than get in a bath tub 😟😟
She doesn’t bark either. Hell, she’ll probably eat the little anklebiters as it is. In the very least, try to.
I love how excited she was about the frisbee EHRMAGHERD! FOOD!
Very cute and funny thumbnail. Alligator/crocodiles are cool!
“...She was neglected and kept in a very small box for 27 years...” *less than a minute later* “...he is in his travel bin right now...” *rex has Vietnam flashbacks*
K P it’s for safe travel. So she can be taken from one location to another without stress or bodily harm to the alligator or the handlers.
that’s a big enough box for her, she has room in it and it’s for travel purposes
cool im not the only one who noticed that
they know how to take care of her. she’s okay. and i’m sure she’s not in there for hours or days
K P that’s an alligator you can’t take those in public not in a box unless you trying to have it murder stuff or get murdered by stuff
Imagine having company over and they just see a full grown alligator walking casually around the living room...
I don’t see a problem with this
And eat the guests
DatShadowX2_ Yt that’s fucking hilarious 😂 😂🤣🤣😆😁🤣😂😅🤣😋😝 Thanks for making my day man
Dzulfiqar Bagas Tito that would be a good movie...
Lol
Watching this and seeing how far Rexy has come is amazing. She so mucn bigger and healthier now. Much easier now shes in the zoo but you guys did such an amazing job with this girl.
Watching this is 2023 realizing how much she has grown With you and Ed now that she is in the zoo you have you basement back
Gator: I don’t love anything I only tolerate Girl: *starts scrubbing her scales* Gator: okay maybe I love this
pond envy yeah if they were they would know the names
What to do with an alligator: 1. Clean 2. Clean 3. Clean 4. Clean 5. Clean
no!! 😞😡its not true
@@zalamali312 what
It's a lot of work it seems just to own such a mindless creature
@@DeVon675 A ton of work, yes. Mindless, nope.
@@DeVon675 I mean, for what's it is specifically designed for in nature it's far from mindless. But, yeah. It is completely mindless when it's taken out of an environment where its specific design thrives. Here its completely out of its element. Theres not much it can do.
My 5 year old daughter, Charlotte, absolutely loves to watch your channel! She really loves Rex!
This was I think one of the last videos I watched, she has changed so much and looks so fantastic!

Gosh Rex has grown so much from the past! I came back to this video to see how much Rex has changed and jeez has she grown!
Rex was so smooooool wow especially vs all the recent videos.
Me: scared when my toad jumps Emily: acts as if an alligator is a cat
@@Marshall.R oh yeah yeah
I cant stop laughing!
Woah! You scared me! *(vine)*
???
I love my toad
her curved jaw makes it look like she's smiling it's so cute
Yeah, maybe, it's curved because of previous 27 years of mistreatment though, anyway, this alligator is older than me, very weird that our brains think of her as a baby alligator right? xD
agreed i just think she's cute
NoTLucas Imagine if Rex was was the size she was supposed to be, that’d be scary.
She opens her mouth to smile
SANNICFANN 333 she got a pedicure
This was the first video I saw of your channle- and it's so amazing seeing how far you've come and how far Rex has gone. She was so tiny here!
Rex is *ADORABLE!*
Emily: She just broke her pool Rex in the corner looking as derpy as anything: >:D
She is the evil little derp Rex: >:p
Rex a savage dwep >:p

Wow this alligator is devious
Yesh I want the pink peasant. PINKKKKKKKKK PEASANT YA PEASANT
She knows exactly what she did
😂😂😂😂😂 rex the devious alligator in theaters 2020😂😂😂😂😂
Rex has grown so much since this vid
Wow. It's so weird looking back on old Rex videos. She looks so much better now!
What a strange looking bird
That's a bird? I thot it was a dog
Lol
you guys are dumb its cookiezi from osu!
IKR that dragon fruit looks so weird
NO
You take better care of that alligator than I have seen people take care of their human children.
I don’t have baby’s I live in a ranch and I just like animals I just take care mommy;dad;sis;brother;Me;and animals
Yep, and that's tragic and heartbreaking.
It's so nice to see how much she cares for her animals makes a nice change people could learn a lot about how to treat their animals from this lovely lady :-)
Sad isn't it...
If thats true then u should call child protection and not say it in a youtube comment ur not gonna help that kid buy doing this like if u think its that bad then do something about it
Rex is so cute!!! I want an alligator but this showed me it's a lot of work and time to take care of one.
Great video! I truly enjoyed every second of it. Thanks for sharing! 😊
*Am I weird to say that the alligator is cute ?*
no it is cute this video is awesome Agree ⬇️
Nope not at all, ITS ADORABLE
Dolly the Doll Nope! Reptiles are cute!
No they are flipping cute dude

Lol I loved when she brushed Rex's teeth, adorable.
She is amazing and awesome in every single way ❤️
“This is Rex’s new toy, it’s an industrial dog bowl” Rex: “😀”
Since Rex’s mouth is stunted it always likes like shes smileing
Yes! Finally someone noticed
She*
TheJuic3Box oh right XD
I thought I was the only one who thought that
I screamed today :)
It's amazing how much she has grown
I can't believe how much rex has grown! Also it's funny to watch this video knowing Rex was just rolling around playing super hard and splashing the water out
Rex's diary Then: I haven't ate for four weeks.I am sitting in a box in a dark place. Now: So,today mom took me to a school and I saw many things.I was a good girl and at home mom washed me and brushed my mouth.Now I live in a luxury place.
I love that they saved her. She's so big now and such a rascal. Rex is a perfect example of how a loving home can heal an abused animal
@@deltasaves ikr
Dear diary. I haven't eaten for two weeks, I felt a little bit peckish so I ate mom.
@westplus1 Yes..and I'll bet she thinks her boa constrictor is giving her a loving cuddle
westplus1 if the alligator didn’t want it done then he’d fight back by biting etc do u see him doing that....nope
She actually looked like she was enjoying the bath and scrub brush. She looked like she was smiling.
I was just about to say that!
Zaracha Stellaris why
Truth_is_the _new_hate yeahhhhh
Well duh he's amphibian
They all smile because even if they werent happy they are still smilling
Look it's Sylvie giving Gator Loki a bath! How adorable! 💚💛🐊
Lol I literally came here because of the Loki series
I love how happy you keep her ❤❤❤
When she closed her eyes during the bath I felt that So peaceful looking
And I oo-
Yeah
And it probably feel so good
yo that is the chillest alligator I've ever seen
Alligators are pretty chill. Crocodiles are the more aggressive ones.
American alligators are pretty chill, they're still giant predators who hunt via ambush tho so i cannot recommend them as pets lol
puddy_in_the_hall Remember seeing a documentary or something about a guy who kept a full grown alligator as a pet, and even swam with it in the river.
OMG!!!! Poor thing! You have really healed her!
